Neil and RPML
If cool means mass market exposure, then hows this?
If anyone hasn't seen the recent Charlie's Angels spoof movie yet have a
look one day. They use 3D laser scanning to take finger prints of a beer
glass, then they process the point cloud data in a surfacing package before
building a replica hand from a vat of liquid resin. Hey-presto a replica of
the bad guys hand, finger prints and all, just enough to open that tricky
safe with the all important e-commerce data locked inside.
Sound familiar, yes RP/ R-manufacturing is cool, very cool and its real,
beats e-commerce hands down.
